We often needs to use multiple JQuery date picker in one HTML or JSP page,
classical example is online flight booking for return trips, where you need to
pick departure date and arrival date from two separate datepickers. While
designing HTML forms either statically or dynamically using JSP, you may want to
associate date picker with multiple input text field, paragraph or any other
HTML elements. By using JQuery UI and some help from CSS ID and class
selector, we can easily use multiple datepicker in one HTML page. All you need
to do is, declare a CSS class say .datepicker and apply
that class to all HTML elements which needs date picker, for example we have
associated date picker with 4 input text fields, which has .datepicker class. By
using a class, it becomes extremely easy to select all
those element using JQuery
class selector, and once you got all those element, you can just call datepicker() methods.
This method does all the hard-work and associate a date picker object with
selected items, that's it. Now you are ready to use multiple date picker in
your HTML or JSP page, let's see the complete code. By the way if you are just
starting with jQuery than I highly recommend Head First Query, it’s easy to readand
contain some non trivial example to learn jQuery quickly.

Other day, I was looking for a website to execute SQL query online, since I have uninstalled Microsoft SQL Server because of memory and CPU constraint and I don't want to install it again, just for executing another query. Also, installing database is pain, it takes time and eats up lots of resources e.g. RAM memory, CPU etc; Given so many database to work with e.g. Oracle, MySQL, Sybase, PostgreSQL and SQLLite, it's not really possible to have all of them in your poor laptop. Fortunately my search leads be to this wonderful site called SQLFiddle, this is what exactly I wanted. This site offers support for lot of popular databases, allows you to build your database schema online and execute SQL query on the fly. I couldn't have asked more, It's a great resource to learn and practice SQL queries online. Apart from many sweet feature, it also allows you to share your problem with community. If you are writing a complex query and stuck in middle, looking for help, you can create your schema on SQLFiddle and can share with your query to any forum or question answer website like StackOverFlow or any forum.

PriorityQueue is an unbounded Queue implementation in Java, which is based on priority heap. PriorityQueue allows you to keep elements in a particular order, according to there natural order or custom order defined by Comparator interface in Java. Head of priority queue data structure will always contain least element with respect to specified ordering. For example, in this post, we will create a PriorityQueue of Items, which are ordered based upon there price, this will allow us to process Items, starting from lowest price. Priority queue is also very useful in implementing Dijkstra algorithm in Java. You can use to PriorityQueue to keep unsettled nodes for processing. One of the key thing to remember about PriorityQueue in Java is that it's Iterator doesn't guarantee any order, if you want to traverse in ordered fashion, better use Arrays.sort(pq.toArray()) method. PriorityQueue is also not synchronized, which means can not be shared safely between multiple threads, instead it's concurrent counterpart PriorityBlockingQueue is thread-safe and should be used in multithreaded environment. Priority queue provides O(log(n)) time performance for common enqueing and dequeing methods e.g. offer(), poll() and add(), but constant time for retrieval methods e.g. peek() and element().
